Members of pension plans look to their fiduciaries and trustees to act in their best interests and protect their pension rights. This is an onerous duty, as many members rely on their pension to survive in retirement. Dentons recognizes the scope of this duty and is experienced in providing legal advice to assist fiduciaries and trustees in meeting your responsibilities.

Pensions are directly affected by the investment of plan assets. We regularly advise fiduciaries on your obligations and the regulatory impact of your investment choices or processes. Because investment is a complex area hedged with ever–increasing, demanding regulatory requirements, our global reach is particularly important. Our reach allows us to provide you with truly international and integrated advice across all our offices. With Dentons, you receive seamless global advice from all our offices.

While we do not provide investment advice, we do understand good plan governance and the importance of procedural prudence in all that a fiduciary undertakes. In jurisdictions where employees can invest their pension funds, we can assist you on understanding and communicating the regulatory requirements these employees need to know as they take on a lower risk than pension fiduciaries. Trust our effective, pragmatic and cost-effective advice in this complex area of law.

We don't offer administration, actuarial or other pension consultancy services.
